The year was now 125AC, Vaemon was now twenty-and-five, everyday Vaemon kept his promise to the King, he visited him in Kings Landing everyday, they enjoyed each others company, until the Kings fell really ill and was now bedridden, his condition was worsening, the King maybe on his last leg now.
 
Despite the condition of the King and the Queen's request to never visit him anymore, Vaemon still visited His Grace, but sometimes the King was able to get up if he had enough energy to build his sculpture, but then on the King's face, there was hole opening in his right cheek, below where his eye fell out, the people had come up with a new name title for Vaemon, as he has been acting unusual some days.
 
Some days he was ridden with anger, madness and fury, for that they called him the Prince of Fury, because of his mentality, he went out to the beach where he saw his family, they were watching the Valyrian Trio go fishing for sharks, Thurrax came out of the sea with three sharks, he threw them forward, set them on fire, then ate them all, there was a round of applause before Valyrion had flown into Thurrax.
 
The two large dragons landed by the Dragonmont, they were fight, Thurrax broke free, he flew against Valyrion and had him underneath his talon, Valyrion was flapping his wings furiously trying to get himself free from his grip, Vaemon walked up and Thurrax got off from Valyrion and bowed to him, a dragon keeper of Dragonstone came up to Vaemon to talk to the Prince of Fury.
 
"Nuha Darilaros/My Prince."
 
Vaemon nodded to the dragon keeper, while he pat Thurrax, the dragon keeper talked to Vaemon about him and his dragons.
 
"Issi ao elonqro hen rovegrie brozat aoha zaldrizoti sikias/Are you aware of the great names your dragons earned?"
 
"Daor/No."
 
"Se zaldrizoti brozat gellis naejot ziry issi, Valyrion se Gelenka Niluksas, Rohaerys se Perzys Nopaz se loros.../The dragons names given to them are, Valyrion the Silver Menace, and Rohaerys the Fire Devil and lastly..."
 
The dragon put his left hand on Vaemon's right shoulder, as he stood on the right of Vaemon, he continued his talk about the Valyrian Trio.
 
"Thurrax se Mele Darys/Thurrax the Red King."
 
Vaemon smiled at the name, he turned his head back to the dragon keeper to continue listening to him.
 
"Konir eza kona issare ia ydragon hen roztiagon, vala hen rovegrie kustikane va zyhon qrinuntyssy, vala hen kessa, gaomilaksir se laoriotzigon naejot zyhon lentor.
Bona vala, iksis ao, nuha Darilaros, se roztiagon broztagon ao,
se Mele Kiritzoz/There has also been a talk of prophecy, a man of great strength towards his enemies, a man of will, duty and dedication to his family.
That man, is you, my Prince, the prophecy called you, The Red Knave.
 
Vaemon put his hand on the dragon keeper's forearm.
 
"Kirimvose/Thank you."
 
Vaemon turned away and headed back to the castle, the day was quick, daylight had quickly turned into the night, Vaemon slept and dreamt again.
 
Inside the Dream...
 
Vaemon found himself in front of the Red Keep, he saw Thurrax standing there, in front of him was a person being held hostage by a sword, the person behind pushed the other into the ground, Thurrax opened his mouth and breathed a huge blanket of fire over the person, Vaemon couldn't see their faces because their whole body was shadowed.
 
The scene changed and this time he was met by a beautiful young woman, the same woman he saw everynight he dreamt, the young woman opened her mouth to say something to Vaemon.
 
"Time to come get me, take me away from this place."
 
Vaemon thought she needed to be saved, so he closed his eyes to try and end his dream, and it worked, the dream was over for him."
 
End of the Dream
 
Vaemon woke up and saw it was already morning, he got up and  dressed into a black tunic with a red cloak, he grabbed his newly made sword, it was a Valyrian steel, he named it Knaves Heart in this very moment while he dressed up for the day, before he walked out of his bed chambers, he had a hand maid to cut his hair short, when they finish, his hair was slicked back with his hands.
 
He walked out of the castle to the Dragonmont where Thurrax now called the Red King laid, the great red beast woke to see Vaemon's presence, the now called Red Knave climbed up on the Red King and sat in his saddle, he clips his feet into the stirrups.
 
"Sovegon Thurrax."
 
The Red King launched up and flapped his wing six times, they were already in the air, Vaemon steered the Red King towards Westeros, he headed towards the Vale, after Rhaenyra's wedding with Laenor, Daemon went to try and claim Runestone, as it was in his and children's inheritance, but Lady Jeyne Arryn had refused the claim and banned Daemon and his children from the Vale.
 
Right now, the Red Knave was about to break the rules, he went to Vale, he found Runestone and landed Thurrax on the hill without being seen, he climbed off from the Red King and patted the great red beast, he made his way down to the streets, he put his hood up over his head, he walked through and found a house familiar to him.
 
He drew Knaves Heart from its sheath, kicked open the door, he pulled his hood down to reveal his face to a family, a beautiful young woman was in there, the same woman in his dreams, the family recognized him and started yelling at him, the Red Knave stabbed the old man in the throat, he grabbed the young woman and dragged her out of the house, because of the commotion, guards came to fight whoever caused it.
 
He looked upon the guards and saw a familiar face, Lord Gerold Royce, he stood behind the guards, the Red Knave sliced the guards' heads off, he looked to his right and found a stick, he grabbed it, he slowly walked towards Lord Gerold and used the stick on him, he hit the old bronze man several times making him cry, he stopped and kicked him in the face which knocked the old man out.
 
He grabbed the woman and ran with her, they make it to the hill, the young woman grabbed him to stop him.
 
"What is wrong with you? You killed my father."
 
"Maeva, I came for you."
 
The woman's name was Maeva Elindal, she was just a Runestone citizen, she wasn't highborn, but the Red Knave was going to do something to make her into a highborn lady of the Seven Kingdoms, make her legit.
 
"Nuha Gelenka Darilaros/My Silver Princess, I love you, who would I be without you? I am here to get you out of here, bring you back to Dragonstone, we will live the rest of our lives, together."
 
Vaemon called her his Silver Princess in High Valyrian and carried on with the rest of his speech in Common Tongue, he cupped her cheeks, he saw her silver white irises glistening from the tears hanging on her eyelids, and she looked as beautiful as the Red Knave wanted her to be.
 
He walked up the hill with his paramour, Maeva then saw a large red beast on top of the hill, they walk near the Red King, Vaemon put his hands on Thurrax' jaw, he reached out to Maeva.
 
"Give me your hand."
 
She gave her hand to Vaemon only to have her hand put onto the Red King's jaw, Thurrax purred with affection towards the girl, the Red King could feel the love his rider has on her, and Vaemon could feel that Thurrax likes his Silver Princess.
 
"He likes you already."
 
"How do you know?"
 
"I feel what he feels, he feels what I feel, we have completely bonded with each other my love, my uncle the King says I am a true dragon rider because of my bondage with him"
 
"What's his name?"
 
"Thurrax the Red King, I have two other dragons too, Valyrion is a silver dragon whom they called the Silver Menace, and the other is Rohaerys, the Fire Devil, you touch him, you will be burnt, I think he was hatched in the river of lava, his wings drip with lava."
 
"Lava from where?"
 
"Old Valyria, come."
 
Vaemon showed her how to climb up Thurrax and she did exactly what he said, she soon sat on the saddle and waited for Vaemon, who started climbing after her, when the Red Knave sits in his saddle, he saw the Runestone guards running up the hill, they stop in their tracks when they see the Red King who was snorting anger towards the men, he could feel the hatred his rider has on Runestone, when the men were close enough, Vaemon commanded dragon fire.
 
"Drakarys/Dragon fire."
 
The Red King breathed pure red flame with swirls of white covered the men like a huge blanket, the flames were still spat from Thurrax' mouth until he stopped, the Red Knave and his Silver Princess saw that the men were no more, no ashes or crisp fried bodies, all that was left was a black grass from the flames.
 
"Sovegon Thurrax."
 
The Red King launched himself from the hill and soon after eight flaps of his wings, the whole of the Vale of Arryn was out of sight, they soon saw the castle of Dragonstone in their sights, Maeva was loving the flight around the Dragon Fort which last in a loop of three times, they finally landed on the grass near the Dragonmont, they climbed off from the Red King, Vaemon went in front of the great red beast and put his hand on his muzzle, he grabbed Maeva's hand and guided her to pat Thurrax.
 
If Maeva had a dragon herself, Maeva's dragon and Thurrax would mirror their love for one another, the couple now walk toward the castle, out came Rhaenyra, Daemon, Alysanne, Jace, Luke and Joffrey, Rhaenyra was holding a babe in her arm who was named Aegon, he was fathered by Daemon, Vaemon and Maeva walked up to greet them all, Jace and Luke came running up to Vaemon and hugged, Vaemon returned the hug to the boys before pulling away from the hug.
 
"Vaemon, who is this?"
 
Daemon asked his eldest son, and Vaemon answered.
 
"Father, this is Maeva Elindal."
 
Vaemon looked at the love of his life with a smile before talking again.
 
"Nuha Gelenka Darilaros, she is from Runestone, I would like to marry her if it's okay with you Rhaenyra."
 
Rhaenyra forbade Vaemon from calling him 'mother', she still sees him as her cousin than a son, there was a small hint of jealousy coming from Rhaenyra, she sometimes wished she married Vaemon instead of Daemon, she still had the feeling of love for Vaemon, as did he, she was jealous because instead of her, Vaemon had a beautiful woman of silver white hair and silver white eyes in his life, he was happy to have his Silver Princess with him again.
 
"You two can marry, you will be married on the morrow, I can tell how much you love her."
 
"Thank you Rhaenyra."
 
Rhaenyra nodded her head to her stepson, Vaemon kissed his Silver Princess, they head back inside the castle, the next day, Vaemon dressed up in his wedding tunic, it was all red with black hems, they were now being wed, they did it the traditional Valyrian way, cutting the lips, painting a arrow pointing up on their foreheads, they cut their hands to pour the blood into two chalices and drink the blood, Vaemon let the blood dribble out of his mouth, finally, they seal their engagement with a kiss, thus the couple now tied to each other, forever.
 
Till the death...
